A-292: Hio, Mundo Zargo System
Travel Arrangments
She may want to take a travel bag/more than one outfit? Incl. jacket?
fyi Hio will take about 1 and 2/3 of a Cycle to get into the planet, ETA to orbit is GG05 on Lia Day 70.
Spanial will arrive about a Cycle and a Half later (RB06 on Lia Day 72)
This is a bit like a contemporary long, long, long haul flight (albeit business class) – the shuttle really only has passenger seating, a small galley and a small cabin that is Kwint’s usual sleeping place.
As the shuttle’s in N-space, Kwint will ask if Lia minds sitting watch during Blue Shift.
Kwint tidies his cabin and offers the use of his bed in shifts; everyone can get a shorter sleep than usual in an actual bed – Lia should be fine because of her Less Sleep Advantage.
I assume Lia’ll freshen up on approaching the planet, looking and smelling as described as they approach the world.
She can use the time to do study or something if you wish.
At one point, Kwint will play his guitar.
Karmen reads for a while on her PDA.
Kort tries to interest people in a game of ‘cards or something’, while stating he hates cards but thinks it might be a good way to pass the time.
Necklace
Is Lia’s necklace a garotte/lockpick tools?
Kort’s Message
Kort sends his message, receives a cryptic response that he says indicates the ship should land at the Downport and meet a contact there.
Mundo Zargo
Outside the controlled habitats, Mundo Zargo has a very thin but breathable atmosphere (humans can survive on the surface with only a compressor/respirator). The planet has a somewhat eccentric orbit and average surface temperatures fluctuate between -40°C in the winter to +45°C in the summer, in addition to local effects, ie: winter at the poles can get a lot colder and summer at the equator, a lot hotter. Currently the planet is in a pleasantly warm phase (average +22°C) and getting warmer. The Downport is near the equator (so probably hotter) and the Grasslands Agricultural Estate somewhat to the North (probably about average). Gravity outside is 0.6G
Next
Comment on any of the above, otherwise Hio arrives in orbit as scheduled, and can begin its descent to the Downport.
Ahh, in that case yes, she will take a travel bag and enough outfits for the length of their stay, including something more slinky just in case.
Lia’s fine doing a shift and yes, that outfit is for the meeting. 😉
She’ll bring her book to read and is happy to play cards. She enjoys Kwint’s guitar playing and may even discuss music with him.
Her necklace is in sections, which are designed to be removed if necessary. The tiny clamps that hold it together slot into grooves in the metal and when removed the sections become miniature zip ties. If she ever needs to use this, I will let you know.
Considering the weather, Lia’s blouse is sleeveless and made of thin material. Several of the buttons will be undone. Also, her hair will be up in an intricate braid and her makeup is subtle, with glossy pink lips.
